Administration - Users (User Administration)
You will find the user administration in Administration > "Users" section.
Prerequisite: "Users" is available only if the user logged in to the Cockpit has the appropriate access permissions.
Note: With its components – the Integration Manager, the Prinect Pressroom Manager, the Prinect Postpress Manager and the Prinect Digital Front End (Prinect DFE) – the Prinect Manager represents the Prinect Workflow variant with the highest integration level. For reasons of clarity, only the term Prinect Manager will be used in the following. User administration is identical in all Prinect Managers.
The Prinect Manager has its own user administration that is independent of the user administration of the operating system or network integration (domain administration). It can, however, be useful to use the same user names and passwords in the user management of the Prinect Manager as in your operating system environment.
As a rule, the user data of the Prinect Manager is saved and managed in the master data store (MDS). All Prinect applications which are connected to the master data store are therefore available to all users.
Note: The user data managed in the master data store is used in Prinect Cockpit and also in Prinect Portal. For that reason, the data structures must be coordinated. For example, "negative permissions" no longer exist. In addition, individual user permissions are no longer assigned but only permission groups can be assigned. For that reason, the Prinect Manager software will synchronize the user data (if this is necessary) during an update to the version 2018. Synchronization runs automatically the first time the Prinect Manager 2018 starts. If conflicts should arise during this process (negative or direct permission), a system message will be issued (see Dynamic Footer).
The "Permissions" tab offers a migration wizard to solve such conflicts. The wizard identifies the migration issues and offers steps to solve these issues.
The "User" section has the following tabs:
Generally recommended procedure for allocating permissions
When the Prinect Manager is started for the first time following installation, you should log on as "Administrator". In this role, you have permissions to define new users and to assign rights by assigning one permissions group or several permissions groups to the user. Proceed as described in the sections below:
•How do I create a new permissions group?
•How do I delete a permissions group?
You should proceed as follows when allocating permissions:
1.First create all permissions groups which you require in addition to the preset permissions groups.
2.Assign permissions to every user already set up by assigning him to the corresponding permissions groups. He is then given the permissions of every group he is member of.
